Sully's Corner Grocery.

People laughed until they cried at
the Standard last night. The upper
part Of the house was jammed, and
the down stairs crowd was large.
Sully's Grocery" an uproarious COM
edy, with an occasional touch of
nature and pathetic love episode un-
derlying, was greeted with tremendous
manifestations Of approval. The lead
ing role, Daddy Nolan, is portrayed
by Mr.. Sully, the author of the COM
edy. and with the assistance Of a
pleasing company, an audience is re-
galed with constant round Of amuse.
ment. A very pretty picture of do.
mestic life is presented in the play,
and there is an appeal not only to the
risibles, but the purer and nobler emo
tions, and little tender episodes check
the laughter of the audience, and re-
mind them that there is serious side,
even to the happiest and most mirth-
full souls. Sully's Corner Grocery"
Is, of course, ridiculously funny, and
II is all that has been representative
tensely amusing, absorbing in situa.

most fastidious could reguire.-St

A Thompson Falls special to the

says: c. w. O'Neil, D. Holman and
John Hackett left here between s and
8 o'clock for Murray. the two former
having each two thousand dollars and
the latter five hundred. When two
miles from town O'Neil and Hackett
were held up by highwayment and
robbed. Holman was Q few feet
ahead of the others and put spurs to
his horse and escaped with his money.
There Is no clue to the perpetrators.
Holman gave the alarm at McCor-
mick's three miles from town. Frank
Keeler started back to the rescue, but
arrived too late. Hackett returned
here and offered a reward Of six hun.
dred dollars for the capture of the ROB-
bers, and posse from here and Muir.
ray started out, but up to this time no
clue has been discovered. O'Neil
proceeded to the Mountain house
without hat. coat or vest. The
three were prominent men of Murray,
O'Neil being q lawyer, Holman q
Wholesale liquor dealer, and Hackett
one of the men who bonded the Hunter
mines. For boldness the deed ex ceeds
anything perpetrated il this part Of
Montana. J. E. Catlet. a freighter,
was robbed of $3.50 about week ago
while on his return here from Murray.
At the time no credence was given his
story, but the description given by
him of the man who robbed him agrees
with the description Of the man who
held up O'Neil and Hackett.

Railroad News and Notes.

The Wheeling and Fairmont ac-
commodation did service again on
the F. NJ. q P. last Sunday and did
q thriving business.
Some time ago ex-senator Henry
G. Davis sued the B. & O. for dam
ages and got judgment against it.
The company declined to liquidate
and carried the case from court to
court, but the ex-senator followed
it, and family it reached point be-
yond which it could go no further
The company still declined TO
make payment, so the ex-senator
waited patiently for his opportunity
and one day last week he attached
its pay car as it was coming
through Piedmont. We were unable
to learn whether or not the judgment
was satisfied, but we suppose that
Mr.. Davis had the matter arranged
to suit him. The pay car, we know
was over week late in reaching
here. The amount sued for, we I'M
derstand, was about $4,000.

Back to Their First Love.

The Martinsburg Independent
tells of the return of some former
Berkeley countians from the West
in the following lines: Mr.. j. A.
Woods has returned from Kansas,
displeased with the country and in
love more firmly with the health and
hospitality of our little Mountain
State. And, too, Mr.. Joseph Imbach
and family are home to stay. Joe
says cyclones, droughts and the ''im-
mensity of the country" almost par
alyzed him. We are glad to well
come them all home again. The
West may possess attractions fol-
some, but more happiness and pros
perity can be found in one square
inch in West Virginia than in ten
miles in Kansas, and some of oui
people are realizing it. Stay at
home, be frugal, pushing and steady
and no trouble will be experienced
in getting along.

Useful and HurtfuI Medicines.

There is a certain class of RENE
dies for constipation absolutely use
less. These are boluses and potions
made in great part of podophyllin,
aloes, rhubarb, gamboge, and other
worthless ingredients. The damage
they do to the stomachs of those
who use them is incalculable. They
evacuate the bowels, it is true, but
always do SO violently and profusely.
and besides, grippe the bowels. Then
effect is to weaken both them and
the stomach. Better far to use the
agreeable and salutary aperient
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the lax
alive effect of which is never pre-
ceeded by pain, or accompanied by
conclusive, violent action of thu
bowels. On the contrary, it invigor
ates those organs, the stomach and
the entire system. As means of cur
ing and preventing malarial fevers
no medicine can compare with it
and it remedies nervous debility
rheumatism, kidney and bladder in
activity, and other inorganic all
ncnts.
